[p2] List IUs of installation plan [message #1106775] |

Hi,
I'd like to do some optimization of a big p2 repository mirroring much
stuff from Eclipse.org. I'm pretty sure some of this stuff is useless,
so I'd like to clean it and keep only what's useful.
So I'm wondering whether there is a tool that takes as input one or
several p2 repo, a set of root IUs and then lists all the IU that will
be installed (so it would also list all dependencies).
I'm aware this is something we can do with p2 director on a very clean
Eclipse Platform, but that would download all the artifacts, which is
time-consuming and which doesn't improve the quality of the results.
Does anyone know/have something of this kind available?
Thanks in advance.

That's true. This requires to know and maintain the list of root IUs.
Or to use UI and the "Select all" button, but then the "host" product
wouldn't be that minimal...

Yes, that's what I want.

Ok. Should I go for a feature request?
